I saw a post that Matt D from Urban was out chasing freighter wakes the other day.

Very cool. Any idea if they are having any luck?Pretty good apps for tracking ship traffic in the sound. Having a 6 hour headsup for “swell” is realisticBut every ship is so different. But draught and speed are listed on most of the vessel tracking sites

That I don't know. I assume, since it is Matt D that yes, they are having success. Might be worth a call or a stop in at urban and talk to the legend himself.

I also know that Rob Casey from Salmon Bay paddle does a ton of ship wake suping, so he would probably have great insight on the ship v wake considerations
